Does it say "Pay Admission Deposit" on your OPUS home page? That will also usually change before the letter is available. I forgot about that part!
It is asking me to pay $300...I'm guessing that is only available to people who are accepted?

Did anyone have a phone interview for Dartmouth's MPH? I just got an email to schedule one and I'd like some insight on what to expect.
Hey everyone, hope the deposit day was smooth and went well. Does anyone know what the timeframe is for waitlisted students after the deposit day has passed? Thanks for the help, and congratulations for all the acceptances and decisions.
I have the same issue. I got waitlisted at NYU and I know since the deposit day passed, what is the timeframe of hearing back? It makes me so anxious to be on waitlist because you never even know when you will hear back haha
It definitely is a strange feeling. I've been on waitlist since January at Yale and just wanted to see if anyone has any experience/insight with the process and how it works after the April 15th. I hope you'll get positive news from NYU, sooner than later.
I wanted to wait to hear back from schools before I posted this. This is for all the people in the future with a low GPA- anything can happen!

Congrats, glad you got in! I finally heard back from NYU and got in as well! But I will also likely be attending a different school in the fall.
Congrats on the acceptance! Do you have any tips on where to rent apartments around the area? Apparrently campus housing is 'limited'; I'm from NY, so I'm completely unfamiliar with the area!I've been accepted! I know that they have graduate housing available that you can live in.
They sent out the decision in an email.Did they email you or was there a portal?
I got a Fed-Ex tracking number when they sent it out! It was sent to my email that I applied with. If you you didn't get anything like that, you may want to check in with themIs anyone else still waiting on their physical acceptance package from Emory? I was accepted back in March and I still haven't received mine yet

I didn't get one either!
When did you get accepted on Opus? I'm probably going to shoot an e-mail over by the end of the month
I've recently been waitlisted for Emory's MPH program because they said their class was full. Does anyone know what the process is for getting off the waitlist or more so the possibility of getting off the waitlist?
I just sent an email! Thanks for the tip!I was accepted at the end of march and I haven't received my package either. I called admissions this week and I was never added to the mailing list :/. They added me and said I should receive my package next week. So I would definitely call/email!
Thanks you too! So it depends if you want to commute. Claremont is a pretty small city but there are plenty of apartment complexes to live in. I'm actually planning on living in Pasadena which is about 25-30 min away. Have you looked at these apartments? Claremont Collegiate Apartments | Student Housing If you have any questions feel free to message me!Congrats on the acceptance! Do you have any tips on where to rent apartments around the area?

Hi little information about stanford epidemiology in forum. I wonder how long it takes for admission decision from Stanford to arrive. I applied in early April.Sure thing! I don't know how helpful I'll be given that I haven't started yet, but I'll do my best!
Hello calmandcollected. Did you get any reply? How long does it take to know the admission decision?Hi everyone,
I'm waiting for responses. I'm an IMG from Mexico, did some research assistance during medical school, and I'm currently in epidemiology and doing research project at the moment. Have three publications, but they're only a case studies and two literature reviews. GRE is 165 Verbal, 157 Quant, 5.0 Writing.
I'm applying to the UCSF MAS in Clinical Research, Stanford MS in Epidemiology and Clinical Research, and the Harvard Masters in Clinical Research.
Anyone have any advice on which of these programs would be good? As well as any input on if I'm good to go as an applicant?

I applied in December around the time most other applications were due and heard back mid-March. So about 3 months. Good luck!
Note: They start late (end of September) and sign-up for classes isn't until early August, so I wouldn't worry too much.
